Of all the methods used (preponderantly by 'Rats) over a century or more to cheat in elections, I had never heard of exactly this one before, though there are some locations, mostly in inner cities, where no Republican poll watchers are brave enough to go.
This is especially significant in a state like Colorado which went to essentially an all mail-in ballot system this year. Thus all ballots had to be handled in some respect by election officials after they had been completed by voters and returned.
Colorado Republicans are extremely fortunate that they could gain a clear-cut victory in the Senate race under such adverse conditions.
Hopefully, the GOP SOS in Colorado will be able to get to the bottom of this mess and the cheating election judges will pay a price.
This was first reported last month.
From October 29, 2014: Democrats Accused Of Posing As Republican Election Judges In Colorado
The Colorado secretary of state is investigating allegations that some Boulder County Republican election judges are actually Democrats in disguise.Boulder County GOP Chairwoman Ellyn Hilliard initially raised the alarm when visiting polling locations where she didn’t recognize some of the GOP judges who are tasked with comparing voter signatures on mail ballots to protect against vote fraud.
She became alarmed when she noticed some ballots whose signatures clearly didn’t match those on file for the voter being accepted.
Deputy Secretary of State Suzanne Staiert began investigating and confirmed to the Daily Camera that she found “some troubling inconsistencies with some election judges.”
“One of them was a Democrat who had changed party affiliation on Oct. 10, so we are concerned that Boulder didn’t follow the list, then resorted to advertising for these positions,” she told the paper.
Hilliard submitted a list of 95 potential Republican election judges to the Boulder County election coordinator after the GOP caucus earlier in the year. The coordinator is supposed to appoint a roughly equal number of judges from the major parties to ensure a fair election.

colorado?....maybe they were just too stoned to be able to count at all??
It has always seemed that vote fraud, regardless of how its done, is inherently un-American and contemptuous of the basic concept of freedom and human rights.
How the vote cheaters are able to rationalize this dishonorable practice is hard to understand.
“Colorado Republicans are extremely fortunate that they could gain a clear-cut victory in the Senate race under such adverse conditions.”
I agree. The rats were able to steal the Gov race, and control of the lower house of legislature.
